Answer 1

All tax is relative in the eye of the beholder... ??? :-)

Hell, how can these Super Churches Do what they do ?
And one Guy changes his Last Name to "Dollar"... just goes to show what they really worship...

Answer 2

Don't think that only those who don't believe think it's time for churches to pay their way. I find it to be staunchly American. By churches not paying taxes the rest of us have to pay extra. They rest in the safety of the government as much as the rest of us. They get fire and police protection as well. I can't see anything different about my home and the church house. They worship there, I worship in my home. They pray, I pray. They eat, read, sing, fellowship, I do all those things in my home.. I don't get a tax break.. Neither should they... About ever Christian in the world will slap me down for this opinion but I have been involved is too many small churches that had to rent space. Believe me the Landlord didn't pay the property taxes on that rental space, we the church did.. Just because a big church can afford beautiful building doesn't mean they should get off when everyone else even the small struggling churches must PAY... Jim

Answer 3

Because they spend what comes in for their expenses The church down the road is obviously expanding .. Churches do not make a profit..

Answer 4

You misunderstand the term "non-profit". It certainly doesn't mean anything like "poor". Note that this applies to non-churches as well. There are many very wealthy non-profit organizations.

Answer 5

Expenditures do not imply profit.
